Claim: Fr. Frank Pavone's religious order disbanded

Diogenes sets up the pieces:

Don't look now, but the Missionaries of the Gospel of Life, the religious order founded in 2005 by Father Frank Pavone, has quietly been disbanded. The Missionaries continue to exist as a lay association, but the lay members may be confused, since they originally signed up as lay affiliates of an order that no longer exists.

The disappearance of the religious order reflects a decision by the Amarillo (Texas) diocese, ratified by the Vatican. In the long run, the move may presage further troubles for Priests for Life, Father Pavone's more successful venture. The Missionaries were only a small part of the overall operation of Priests for Life. In fact, Church leaders had grown increasingly concerned that the religious order could be inappropriately controlled by a secular corporation-- and a corporation with a strong political bent, at that. But there's more to the story. Church officials in Amarillo and in Rome were reportedly concerned about possible confusion in fundraising between the religious order and the secular corporation. Beyond that there were-- and still are-- concerns about the successful fundraising by Priests for Life, a group that has been raising tidy sums with minimal ecclesiastical control.

Diogneses goes on to claim that the reason for the disbanding was "conflict with diocesan officials."

Can anyone illuminate this situation with personal experience?
